Reviews

Advance praise: 'The Social Psychology of Perceiving Others Accurately is an important and timely volume that features an outstanding cast of contributors that have extensive research programs in the areas of interpersonal perception and accuracy. Bringing together research and approaches in the study of accurate interpersonal perception across diverse domains that have too often worked in comparative isolation, this book highlights the resurgence of interest and research in accuracy and will be an essential resource for researchers and students alike.' Jeremy Biesanz, University of British Columbia Advance praise: 'This book offers an authoritative, well-written and comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the study of accuracy in interpersonal judgment. Its wide-ranging chapters provide historical perspective as well as valuable suggestions for the future. The book is a must-have for any researcher or student interested in whether, when and how people are able to accurately discern what each other is like.' David Funder, University of California, Riverside Advance praise: 'This book nicely summarizes theoretically important findings in the study of interpersonal accuracy in a wide range of areas: social, developmental, personality, clinical cultural, and industrial psychology, as well as communication science, family studies, and organizational behavior. The book should be of interest not only to accuracy researchers, but also to those who desire to understand interpersonal phenomena. ' David A. Kenny, University of Connecticut Advance praise: 'Publication of this volume marks the arrival of a new conception of the research domain of interpersonal accuracy. Never before have so many scholarly strands been brought together in one place to begin a remarkable integration of the many faces and voices of interpersonal accuracy.' Robert Rosenthal, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, Riverside
